  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    All application! No knocking (this time)...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Decided to beef up my bars to support some new accessories & just applied blue Loctite to 32 torqued allen bolts in preparation for winter's abuse... Tedious as all hell - but so worth the time (given the bumpy-ass, frost heaved roads & rattling frozen dirt roads in the frozen mountains)...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    I don't think that is asking for too much and Scout has already previewed some of this. For example, CAMP MODE or DETOX mode (one of the terms Scout has used) allows for this type of "dimmed-down" experience right from the U/I. Here's what Rivian did for reference (with an OTA) - I would...

    Road Trip: Harvester vs EV vs Gas Hog

    You might be able to change the setting for "desired arrival SOC" if you poke around. I can do that on my truck, and its a great feature b/c I am not conservative at all and have no problem going into the single digits for % of juice left in the battery. LOL

    What do we think is going to happen on the 24th of October?

    DUH!!! Everyone knows that the 2026–27 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup season officially opens on The Rettenbach Glacier in Sölden, Austria today.

    Road Trip: Harvester vs EV vs Gas Hog

    If you live in New England, your fears would have been worse 5 years ago. Now its pretty much a non-issue unless your going fishing in the Allagash or skiing on Khatadin.

    Interior improvement

    I could never get behind a cream interior, but to each their own I say.

    Simulation & machine learning is one component. With simulations you can also rapidly account for many variables in a much shorter window, and do so safely. I'm sure not all simulations are perfect, but they can be a critical component of a broader development effort - not just for cars but...

    As we get closer to launch. Feature Requests & Real‑World Feedback for Scout

    I don't think your map is accurate. What filters did you use. My map was showing DCFC (not level II). Level II was left unchecked on my filters. Also, take one state like North Dakota on your map. It shows 4 DCFC chargers. There are actually 43 DCFC sites in the state. See below: Total DC Fast...

    All of this doesn't bother me at all. I don't want to own a car. LOL

    There seems to be an uptick in cars and cross-overs with weirdly shaped fenders, strange body panel bump-outs, and sloped rear roofs. They all appear (to me, at least) as "unattractive" - probably due to my own personal preference for boxy shapes. Did these designers all own Pontiac Azteks or...
